What used to be my "fantasy world" is now an "ELF, wizbang, or whatever you want to call it" with 19.9 hours on the hour meter. The only thing it takes to bring a dream to reality is hard work and time. Some people are "Doers" and some are "Doubters" and I must confess, it's a lot more fun being a "Doer" than a "Doubter".
